ZeroIMPACT, full-directory
migration Restructure your AD
during business hours, reducing the
administrators workload with no
adverse effect on user productivity.
And with Migration Manager, youll
be able to move all types of objects,
including users, groups, computers,
volumes, printers, contacts,
organizational units, network topology
(for example, sites, subnet and site
links), as well as directory permissions.
Complete coexistence Maintain
seamless user access to all network
resources, such as servers and printers,
regardless of their migration status.
Flexible, comprehensive planning
Plan your migration by staging
users, scheduling workstation moves
and updating permissions. Control
any migration scenario, from simple
AD improvements to a complete
restructuring of your entire domain.
Youll also be able to easily mirror your
production environment to a test lab to
ensure that all processes are effective
and safe before they are applied.

Automatic updates Save time and

reduce risk by automatically updating
permissions and resources, including
AD, SharePoint, Exchange, Internet
Information Services (IIS), file and print
servers, SQL Server, cluster servers and
Microsoft Systems Management Server.
You can also update NTFS security,
shares and more.
Secure execution Increase the
security and reliability of your project
by taking advantage of a test mode
to verify the accuracy and security of
your migration plan. Then optimize
your post-migration environment,
preserving passwords and removing
source accounts and related references.
